"Pen name A pen name (""nom de plume"" or ""literary double"") is a pseudonym (or, in some cases, a variant form of a real name) adopted by an author and printed on the title page or by-line of their works in place of their ""real"" name.

A pen name, or """"nom de plume"""" (French for ""pen name""), is a pseudonym (sometimes a particular form of the real name) adopted by an author (or on the author's behalf by their publishers). Some female authors used male pen names, in particular in the 19th century, when writing was a male-dominated profession.

A popular misconception is that the ""particule"" ""De-"" included in the name always indicates membership of the nobility, that is to say, an original separated ""de"" that was linked to the name during the French revolution as ""De-"".

"Writers use prose, poetry, and letters as part of courtship rituals. Edmond Rostand's play ""Cyrano de Bergerac"", written in verse, is about both the power of love and the power of the self-doubting writer/hero's writing talent. Writers sometimes use a pseudonym, otherwise known as a pen name or ""nom de plume"". The reasons they do this include to separate their writing from other work (or other types of writing) for which they are known; to enhance the possibility of publication by reducing prejudice (such as against women writers or writers of a particular ethnicity); to reduce personal risk (such as"

Similarly, during the French Revolution, when being associated with the nobility was out of favor and even risky, some people dropped the ""de"" from their name, or omitted the mention of their feudal titles (see image).

They were originally sneered at but became accepted within one or two generations.

But, after the end of the kingdom of France, the use of ""de"" has not invariably evidenced nobility, as shown in Valéry Giscard d'Estaing's grandfather's change of name in the early twentieth century.
